About Me
Mark Sharp helps people turn their retirement savings into a meaningful, sustainable lifestyle.
As a certified financial planner, retirement income strategist, author, and speaker, Mark founded Mark Sharp Retirement, a fee-only firm dedicated to guiding people through the transition from work to retirement. He works closely with individuals and couples—especially those nearing or already in retirement—to create personalized income plans that support the life they’ve worked so hard to build. Mark’s approach blends deep technical expertise in retirement income, tax strategy, and wealth management with a clear, compassionate focus on real-world goals: travel, generosity, time with family, and peace of mind. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Mark brings the same curiosity and energy to life that he brings to his planning work. He’s a world traveler, language learner, and amateur flamenco guitarist who loves experimenting with international recipes in the kitchen. A passionate advocate for healthy living, he also enjoys staying active, flying small aircraft, and pursuing personal growth. Mark believes retirement isn’t the end of something—it’s the beginning of your most meaningful chapter. Through his book, speaking engagements, and personalized guidance, he helps people gain the clarity and confidence to turn their savings into a strategy—and their plans into a fulfilling reality.
